Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Server 2008 R2 together with the Hyper-V role installed, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

STOP: 0x0000001a ( Parameter , Parameter , Parameter , Parameter ) MEMORY_MANAGEMENT


On Windows Server 2008, error messages resembling the following may also occur:

STOP: 0x00020001 (0x00000011, 0x00000000, 0x00001007,  Parameter )

Cause

This problem occurs because Intel Westmere processors have a new Virtual Machine Control Structure(VMCS) caching feature. This feature is added to provide a virtualization assistance to increase the hypervisor performance. Because this feature was introduced after both Windows 2008 SP2 and Windows 2008 R2 were released, the hypervisor does not handle the VMCS caching correctly. Therefore, the system memory may be corrupted. This behavior can cause the 0x0000001a stop error. 

Resolution

Hotfix information

A supported hotfix is available from Microsoft. However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article. This hotfix might receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next software update that contains this hotfix.

If the hotfix is available for download, there is a "Hotfix download available" section at the top of this Knowledge Base article. If this section does not appear, contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support to obtain the hotfix.

Note If additional issues occur or if any troubleshooting is required, you might have to create a separate service request. The usual support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for this specific hotfix. For a complete list of Microsoft Customer Service and Support telephone numbers or to create a separate service request, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?ws=supportNote The "Hotfix download available" form displays the languages for which the hotfix is available. If you do not see your language, it is because a hotfix is not available for that language.

The Hotfix Request form may be misleading because this fix only applies to Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. For Windows Server 2008, select Windows Vista and for Windows Server 2008 R2, select Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2.

Prerequisites

To apply this hotfix, you must be running Windows Server 2008 SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 on the computer. Additionally, you must have the Hyper-V role installed on the computer. If you are experiencing this problem on Windows Server 2008 RTM, you must first upgrade to SP2, and then apply the hotfix.

Restart requirement
